MISTAKES IN YESTERDAY'S
EDITORIAL COLUMN
Demosthenes in the .libiary Is a
'statue," not a "statute." of course.
The slogan for the Red Cross dres
sings should have been "50.000 by
June 1." The number printed. 5.000,
is ridiculous, obviously. Lincoln High
School alone turns out 14.000 a month.
THE CAMP CODY CAMPAIGN
For the first time Nebraska students
are asked to contribute for the amuse
ment of Nebraska soldiers. Hitherto
what has been given has been to re
lieve suffering. The amount needed to
supply the Camp Cody division of
former Cornhuspers and other Nebras
lans at Deming with athletic equip
ment is. $250.
The amount will be raised, of course.
But we can make the work of the
committee easier, the work of collect
ing the quarters, if we offer members
of the committee the exact change and
not wait to be asked to make our con
tribution. APPRECIATION
We get a glimpse of what our col
lege life will mean to us in the let
ters written back from our alumni.
Many of us do not appreciate college,
now. We are too close to get a true
perspective. Our minds are so full of
pur small troubles that our whole
vision is colored.
Nebraska soldiers are taking an ac
tive interest in their Alma Mater when
they send a plant of ivy gathered on
the fields of France back to their
school. The school means a lot to
them now, because they, when in
school, through their activities, meant
a lot to the school. It is Just the old,
old story of receiving from anything
what one has put into it.
"We ara proud of our Alma Mater,
for the good work she is doing, for
made and for the wonderful spirit she
the advancement and progress she has
has instilled a spirit of loyalty and
love for one's school and one's coun
try." A high tribute to our school. Are
we worthy of it?
We are not if we are not shoulder
ing our responsibilities squarely. And
we are not shouldering our responsi
bilities when we leave the Red Cross
work for someone else to do. when we
let someone else consider the nursing
of our soldiers, when we let someone
else support the Y. M. C. A.
SCIENCE NURSING COURSE -
Next September will seethe opening
at Ohio State University of a special
five-year course in fcience nursing
which will answer all war require
ments and lead to a degree of bachelor
of science and a diploma in nursing.
Especially since the beginning of
the war, University girls have been
discussing the profession of nursing,
and wishing that it could be made pos
edge along that line of work. But
sible lot them to gain scientific knowl
ing and not wishing to cut short their
ignorant of conditions of hospital train
course at Ohio State University, they
have hesitated to take preliminary
steps toward entering the nurses field
of service.
It will be no longer necessary to
discuss vague possibilities presented
by nurses' training, for the training
school itself has beea brought to the
doors of the university. Meeting all
requirements, the training has the
added attraction of not cutting the rto
dent off from other University associa
tions. Of course, some women may be at
tracted to the study of curses mcrc'y
THE

as a war "fad," and this kind of stu
went would be a burden rather than
an aid to the profession. But for the
University woman who enters the
training with serious intent, fully
aware of the drawbacks as well as of
the rewards of the work, realizing
1 that there is a greater present necKl
for women in this profession than in
almost any other, a rare opportunity J
Is being presented v the Installing of
such a course at Ohio State Univer
sity. The end of the war will not mean an
end to the need for woman trained in
the art of nursing. For several years
the scarcity of trained nurses has been
becoming more acute and no would-be
applicant need fear that such training
will turn out to be a luxury rather
than an economic gain.
Now is the time for the useless
chatter concerning the desire to follow
some really useful profession to crys
tallize into a decision as to whether
or not to follow such a profession
when it is placed within easy reach
FORUM
Editor Nebraskan:
I wonder whether students arc grow
ing lax in their attitude toward war
work? It seems to the writer that
there has grown an atmosphere of
"restless unconcern," if such a thing
is possible. When University opened
last autumn students were fresh from
summers at home, fresh from witness
ing the results of the first draft call.
They were filled with real, and they
responded to every request for help.
Gradually there came a change. It
was perhaps helped by one too ex
travagant demand upon the purses of
the students; but that at most was
only a contributing factor. It has
come, more probably, from the final
adjustment of students to the strange,
stressed conditions. Most of us know
what we are going to do. Either we
will continue our education until we
are called into the service, or we will
enlist at the end of the term. Uni
versity women, too, have grown used
to war times. The novelty of the
Red Cross bandage circle has worn
off, and these worthy and vital enter
prises are being neglected although
it is true that co-eds are still far out
stripping University men in war work.
Another aspect of the situation is
seen in the decrease, if anything, in
University economy. Downtown the
atres, motion picture houses, candy
shops, and away-from-the-campus
dances are heavily supported by the
University. This is not of itself a bad
sign, if all those who are thus reck
lessly spending their money still have
enough to give to the support of the
war. But at this time provision should
firt be made for our war tithe, and
what we need o spend on diversion
must be the remainder.
Students naturally think that one
campaign after another is tiresome, if
not annoying. But that is not the at
titude of sober judgment. The pre
war prophecy that each one of us
"must give until it hurts" will some
day be realized, and that probably not
in the far-distant future. Students
should v:ot begrudge their quarter or
their dollar or ten dollars; it is their
contribution toward victory.
The writer may be mistaken, but :t
is his belief that not only the Uni
versity, but the country in general,
is loosening, if anything, its grip upon
the situation. The tempting bobble
of peace, dangled before our eyes by
the German diplomats to dazzle us
?nd blind our perceptions against
other more impending events, has
worked havoc with the grim determ
ination of Americans to "see it
through," to "fight it out on this line"
if it takes not one year, but ten, to
accomplish the result.
All of which is beside the point.
Developments of the next few months
will probably be of then a character
that they will force us to realize that
peace is after all far away, that there
is much work to be done before we
can laugh away our present danger
and rest on hopes of peace. I hope
that I am mistaken; that this realiza
tion is at present, deeply Imprinted on
all our minds. And I hope also that
the splendid start Nebraska University
has made toward w:ar support will be
carried on to the finish.

JOSEPH E. HOWARD'S "MUSICAL
WORLD REVUE" ORPHEUM TO
DAY The stellar act Is that presented by
Joseph E. Howard, song composer,
who is the "life" in "a musical world
revue." Several of Howard's songs
are sung to good effect and his latest
offering in the patriotic line was ac
claimed with considerable applause at
the opening performance here. The
company supporting Mr. Howard is
well cast, a feature being the mag

he would receive a world of benefits
to himself. Most of us in the Univer
sity will sooner or later, be called into
service, and there can bo no estimate
put that is too high in summing up
the advantages that will accrue under
these conditions if we have had some
previous athletic training.
Good Chance to Win "N"
Besides this, there never was a time
when a student had a better opportun
ity of winning one of the coveted
"N's". The war has sadly depleted
the ranks of the old-timers in the
game and it is up to the newcomers
to recruit the squad again to its full
strength. Of the fifteen event's in the
track and field, there are five for
which so far there are no candidates.
These include the broad and high
Jumps, the mile race, and the shot
nut and discus throw. Besides this
there are the 100-yard dash, the high
and low hurdles, the 2-mile run and
the pole-vault in which .there is but
one contestant for each place. In or
der to win an "N" it is only necessary
that a rerson be above the freshmen
class in school, have been in the Uni
versity at least one year, and make a
total of S points in any dual meet or
make a place in either the western
conference meet at Chicago or the
Missouri valley meet at Ames.
Besides these two meets which are
the two really big ones of the season,
there are to be dual meets with Min
nesota and Ames and possibly Wes
leyan in Lincoln while the team will
make a pilgrimage to the land of the
Jayhawk and attempt to clean up on
the Kansas bunch. Then there is the
Inter-tlass meet which is always one
of interest, and there is a strong
chance that there will be one between
the freshmen. Lincoln high. Wesleyan
and Nebraska. So there is no reason
why a good man should not make his
letter this year. It is hoped, that every
one who is possessed of any athletic
ability at all will get out and show
Doc Stewart that they are with him
in this year's fight.

forced to depend on free-throws for
five out of their eleven points.
Probably the star of the evening
was Gillilan, who stayed so close to
the all-state guard, Lamb, that he
made him look poor Indeed. None of
the Lincoln men stood out very promi
nently, due Jargely to the close guard
ing of the Froshers and on the whole
they were Just generally out-classed.
There-will be another match be
tween these two teams staged at the
Armory this coming Saturday night.
A twenty-five cents admission will be
charged the proceeds to go toward
the purchase of gold basketball troph
ies for the members of the Lincoln
team. Also these matches are for the
purpose of giving the first year men a
good work-out preparatory to their
trip to Manhattan next week Monday
and Tuesday when they will meet the
Aggie Freshmen in two more games,
and try to get revenge for the defeats
administered here last week.

Y. W. C. A. expects to "go over the
top" this year and raise all of Miss
Coppock's salary for the coming year.
It takes $4 a day to cover the ex
penses of the Y. W. C. A. secretary
in China who not only supervises the
direct management of each associa
tion, but also directs the establlsn
ment of new houses and helps organize
suffrage clubs and home economic
clubs for women who. heretofore, have
been utterly Ignorant of the opportuni
ties for their intellectual and political
development. The . W. C. A. in
rhina is Dractically the only medium
through which the little oriental wom
an in the Far East has an opportunity
to learn of western liberty and civiliza
tion.
One thousand five hundred dollars is
Miss ConDock's annual salary and the
amount the Nebraska association ex
pects to raise next week.
